Dialogue

      Starting out with the story of the knights pulled me in instantly because I have always enjoyed hearing those types of stroies because the knight is faced with a difficult task and accomplishes it but with a twist. A knight normally does this by staying true to his virtues that are on his shield, like the reading said, the shield sereved as a reminder to not only the people around but knight himself. The knight would also have a family crest that also represented his vitures. The reading made me think though that a shield is useful, like our virtues, and can protect us from harm. But we can't always hide behinde the shield sometimes we have to attack meaning we have to do what's right in different ways in different situations. The reading also brought up the idea of balance knowing the opposite of ones values. I thought that this was important because it not only shows the importance of the value to begin with but also a broder view that is beyond the boundaries of our values. Dialogue is huge in any group becaues it sets up so many aspects to what a group is. I like how the book said its a important way to not only inspure ideas but to also keep things humble and tensions low. This is a delicate process that can be set up or happen naturally there are keys to help anybody in different situations. Dialogue is always needed and it is a leaders natural tendancy to guide dialogue in the right way and best way possible
